L. A. Business Men Take Stand ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE L. A. FOR PROGRESS Liberty Building & Loan Asso. Throws Open Its Doors To The Public IN RECITAL-PAYN TELEPHONE: 829-244 VOLUME 37 A new epoch along the line of constructive business was ushered forth on last Monday when the Liberty, Building and Lean Association opened its doors for business at its own brand new home, at 2504 Central Avenue. The office of this company from both an external and internal view, will compare most favorably with any other institution of its kind and the keen business like clerical force at once gives to the customer an atmosphere of progress, and the exclamation of "Ohl" is of common occurrence on entering the portals of this company. As per the announcement of the Association its doors were opened promptly at 10 a.m. on Monday, and even at that hour customers vied with each other as to who would be the first one to make a deposit in this, the first Building and Loan Association ever opened by our group west of the Missouri River. In fact a prize had been offered by the company to the first person who entered a deposit, which prize was awarded to Mrs. Frank Clines, Jr., of 28th Street; and Hooper Avenue. Mrs. Cline also made a substantial deposit as No. 1 on the books of the company. All day long the people flocked to inspect the men and long hoped for institution and in coming they were most highly pleased and happy. The officers and directors of The Association were most highly elated at the most auspicious beginning. It is said that more than three hundred persons opened accounts on the opening day. Courteous and obliquic clerks waited upon them and explained in detail the various sorts of deposits and the various lines in which the Association will function. Souvenirs were given away to all patrons, and at the conclusion of the visit in a room next door the most delicious refreshments were served, all of which was an unexpected treat to the customers. The doors were supposed to be opened at 10 a. m. and close at 10 p. m.; but the people kept coming and the writer leaving the office nearly eleven o'clock discerned the fact that they were still receiving deposits. It was a new day. A great day and one which portends much for the progress of our group in this section, and we have no hesitancy in commending this institution to the people as worthy of the most hearty and loyal support of the people of thi scommunity. The officers and directors of the company are: Wilbur C. Gordon, M. D., Pres.; C. B. Blodgett, First Vice-Pres.; Geo S. Grant, second vice-Pres.; A. Hartleg Jones, Sect.; Albert Bauman, Engene might have lie, and might have it more obundantly". Not dead but sleep eth. Amen. JUDGE TURNS CASE OVER TO MINISTERS Nashville, Teen, Mar. 18. (By The Associated Negro Press.)—Called upon by Judge J. D. De Bow for their recommendation in regard to William Hibbett, who pleaded guilty to thefts from the Young Women's Christian Association punishable by nine years at the maximum, four ministers, the Reva, J. I. Vance, J. E. Travis, L. P. Beaty and W. P. Powell, argued the sentence down to 30 days after which the judge took it under adjudication. NEGRO LEADERS BACK COOLIDGE California Editor Says State Should Join (J. A. Evening Express) J. B, Bass of Los Angeles, editor of the California Eagle, principal Pacific Coast journal of the Negro population, arrived from an extended journey in the East with the announcement of important action taken by Negro n ational organizations in indorsing President Coolidge. Mr. Baas went to attend the convention of the Lincoln League of America in Chicago, February 12, and while there procured the unanimous endorsement of the league for the Coolidge candidacy. Delegates were present from 42 states, representing more than 1,000,000 voters. Most of the Negro leaders were present. "I was gratified," he said, "as a representative of Los Angeles and California Negroes, to be invited to the platform along with some of the most distinguished leaders of the country." Indorsed by Press Men From Chicago Mr. Bass went to attend the Negro Press Association meeting in Nashville, where 150 newspapers were represented. Although it had been a precedent of the Association never specifically to indorse a candidate, this time the precedent was ignored and President Coolidge indorsed. In Washington Mr. Bass conferred with national Republican leaders. Chairman Adams was visited in Chicago. "At the Coolidge headquarters in Chicago," Mr. Bass said, "there was revealed a most unusual spirit of courtesy and consideration for all callers. It was, indeed, gratifying." No Other Possibility "The wisdom for California to swing into line," he added, "is obvious. There is absolutely no possibility of anyone else being nominated." Mr. Bass is first vice-president of the Negro Press Association and was re-elected national state committee of the Lincoln League of California. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, MARCH 21, 1924 What We Heard, What We Saw At Chicago And At Nashville We shall minutely report our mid-winter trip to Chicago and Nashville to which places we started on February 5th, returning March 15th. We left this city at 10:30 p. m. Friday. February 8th without a single stop excepting the division stops of the train. We arrived in Chicago at 3:30 a. m. at the Polk Street Depot greeted by one of the biggest snow storms of the season. We hailed a Yellow Cab and soon were domiciled at the palatial Vincentennes hotel on 38th and Vincentnes Avenue. We found this hostelry a bee hive of activity for ye pollitician and race problem solvers were thers from all sections of the country. It was not long however before we were on our way to the Bethel Auditorium to be present at the opening session of the Lincoln League. The were gathered from all sections, and when the president Roscoe C. Simmons rapped for order truly a representative gathering of black American Citizens faced him and the 1924 Session of America was to all intents and purposes a huge success. There was na gain say as to the fact that every section and corner of the country was represented, even from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Gulf on the South to the great Lakes on the North. The preliminaries of the organization, such as the appointment of the committees on credentials were gone through, while waiting for the report of the Committee, the chairman kept up a keen interest by the introduction of notables from all sections of the country. The report of the committee disclosed the fact that thirty-six states were represented by more than 300 delegates. The appointment of the various committees was made in which California was represented upon all the important committees, such as resolutions, address to the country, and special committee to wait upon the chairman of the National Committee, the Hon. John T. Adams. FIRST NIGHT SESSION The night session of the first days meeting of the Lincoln League was a memorable occasion. Oratory was turned loose, the president, Roscoe C. Stamins, in is own infinitable style, opened up the fireworks to the intense delight and satisfaction of the huge crowd present. On this occasion he put on a roll call all his own and in making the address he silenced the guns of the enemies who are wont to go forth and say that the League was not what it claimed to be. As he called the rob-from the Pacific to the Atlantic and from the Gulf to the Lakes, each representative arose in his place and answered prestt for himself. He also dramatically as well as forcefully then and there give in detail the accomplishments of the Lincoln League and challenged any one to disprove the claim. At one moment as the eloquent speaker was speaking, he halted abruptly. Far down the aisle came the Aba father as it were, of the organization in the person of that grand old patriot and intrepid leader of deys gone by, the Hon. Colonel John R. Lynch. The president gave three raps and in his honor the great assemblage stood, as the old warrior was escorted to the platform. The president then in glowing terms gave a resume of the great deeds performed by this just character and presented him to the huge gathering. Col. Lynch, while aged to a marked degree, has lost none of the are of youth and especially interested those present with a good old time Republican speech. Got John R. Lynch in his day was one of the most forceful leaders and highly honored by his party, aside from the many high positions which he held. He was at one National Republican Convention as its temporary chairman. He was later a paymaster in the U. S. Army and tired as a Colonel, he now resides in Chicago. At this juncture the Hnn. John Adams, of Iowa, Chairman of the National Republican Committee was introduced and delivered a most inspiring address on the life of Lincoln. The League was signally honored in the presence of Mr. Adams, for it was well known that he turned down the invitation of the President of the United States to go with him to New York, where the President was to speak on Lincoln, to be present with the Lincoln League on this occasion. Next. President Simmons introduced the Hon. Robert S. Abbott, who in turn introduced the Hon. Medill McCormick, United States Senator from Illinois, who gave the League a rousing address. On the platform was Mrs. Medill McCormick, a daughter of the late Mark Hanna. Mrs. McCormick, as a national heritage, is a chip of the old black, and is said to make a superior manager for the political destiny of her distinguished husband, the late Bessie Misa B. Edwards of Branville, Illinois, the political genius of the women of America, a most lovable character, superb organiser and a woman who has by her merit, gained the front rank as a commanding force in American politics. The opening day, therefore, as well as the memorable nighth session of the Lincoln League demonstrated the salient part which this great organization is playing in procuring for this group both consideration and recognition. (To be continued.) Major J. W. Anderson, distinguished hero of San Juan Hill, and ranking colored soldier of the United States Army, will speak at the great public meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. Monday night, March 24th. The meeting will be at the First A. M. E. Zion Church, corner of Ploe and Padula Streets, beginning at 8:00 o'clock. This meeting will be the largest planned by the local branch of the Association since the coming of Congressman Dyer last Spring. The program has been carefully arranged and will consist only of Major Anderson's eloquent address and the thrilling musical numbers by the Douglas Temple choir and Orchestra. The combination is a guarantee of helpful delight to all who come to this meeting. Ex-service men, women's clubs and civil organisations as well as the public generally are invited to this important meeting. The N. A. A. C. P. is putting forth a great demonstration for the freedom of the Houston martyrs at eavenworth prison and for anti-lynching legislation by Congress. The meeting Monday night will test the real interest of the public in these matters. Come early for seats. Admission free. Music will be rendered by Douglas Temple Choir and Orchestra. HELD FOR MURDER Charkidale, Miss., Mar. 18. (By the Associated Negro Press)—Lige Harris was arrested here Thursday and charged with the murder of a white farmer, A. M. Chim. Farmers say that they saw Chim and Harris rowing across the Clearwater river when the white man was last seen alive. His dead body was found in the river. Harris is also suspected of shooting Chim's mother. He was one of the hands of Chim's farm. IN PLAYLET "THE BATCHELOR'S REVEL RIES" MR.

(By The Associated Negro Press)—Police have arrested Walter Powell in connection with the theft from the person of Henry Smith, $4, of $300. Smith is supposed to have been robbed while he was visiting at Powell's house. He was known to have a habit of carrying large sums of money with him. Frequently, those who knew him say, he would hide his money in the yard before entering a friend's house. He was asleep before the fireplace is Houston, Tex. Mar. 18. (By The Association Negro Press)—A fine of $5000 was imposed upon Edward Young Clarke, former acting imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, by Judge J. C. Hutcheson in Federal court after Clarke had pleaded guilty to violating the white slave act, Clarke was charged with having transported a young woman of this city to New Orleans in 1921 for immoral purposes. Judre Hutcheson informed the former klan leader that he refrained from sending him to prison only because of the admission of guilt and reprimanded him severely for having attempted to lead an organization which purported to terrorize and intimidate citizens because of the infraction of the moral code while at the same time breaking such laws themselves. The young woman in the case was in court. The far-famed and noted Baptist Divine, Rev. A. J. Stokes, who was some time ago called to the pastorate of Mt. Zion Baptist Church of this city arrived in the city this week and will immediately assume his duties as the new pastor of Mt. Zion. The advent of a man such as Dr. Stokes in our community means much for he is a man of the greatest integrity, character and ripe scholar with an unequaled experience. Mt. Zion under his guidance will no doubt thrive and prosper as never before. Sunday will truly be a great day at Zion; Dr. Stokes will be present at three services—Morning, Afternoon and night. "BAD EYE" FINED FOR WHITE MULE Columbia, S. C. Mar. 18. (By The Association Negro Press)—Eddie "Bad Eye" Kenahaw, was fined $150 in police court after officers had found 10 gallons of moonshine in his home. DROPS DEAD CUTTING WOOD Columbia, S. C. Mar. 18.

NO.17 Meet Mrs. Woodson and her husband John Woodson. wealth diamond broker and heir to one million dollars, new arrivals from Philadelphia, Penn. Mr. and Mrs. John Woodson, 2021 Christian street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania are in Los Angeles for a short stay, visiting Mr. Woodson's sick brother, James Woodson, millionaire financier of Pasadena, worth over four million dollars. Mr. and Mrs. Woodson are at present the house guests of Miss Angela Breedlove, 1449 West 81st Place. Their stay in the city is to be indefinite or as long as Mr. Woodson's brother remains seriously ill. Mrs. Woodson is socially prominent in exclusive circles in Philadelphia and throughout the East. The famous Robinson Jackson wedding party, were house guests of Mr. and Mrs. Woodson during the football game, in that city, last Thanksgiving day. Mr. Woodson is his brother's heir for one million dollars. The bulk of Mr. Woodson's wealth will be left to charity. His money was made in the Klondike, many, many years ago and after leaving Alaska, James Woodson settled in San Francisco and quietly invested his savings in oil and real estate. He lived greatly to himself and made few friends outside of the Catholic Church. He is practically unknown to the members of his own Race. Just now Mr. James Woodson is very ill with a lingering and inchable disease in a Catholic Hospital in Pasadena.^ Mr. John Woodson, who has resided in Philadelphia for the past fifty years, has been in business there as a diamond broker for forty-one years, being an expert in his line and rated as one of America's foremost appraisers of diamonds and precious stones.

For this conclusion we are backed up with more reasons than it is the lot of the average man to have for any undertak- ing for which he must have some excuse. Calvin Coolidge comes from sturdy old New England, from which came the spirit of many illustrious sons who havé stoad out in bold relief for the down-trodden and oppressed of all peoples. And éf his stand for eternal justice and human rights there can never be any question. Since the daye of John Quincy Adams, he is the first man from New England to occupy a. place” in the presidential chaif; it is such a rare opportunity. in sup- port a man like this, that we could not afford to let the oppor- tunity pass by. : Inheriting, as he does, an admini&tration unlikened as nev- er before in the history- of American politics, grave problems have arisen to confront him, which would undoubtedly over- whelm the average man, but the son of rugged Vermont State has met them with a masterly hand, and, unscathed, stands Gut as a man who can safely at all times guide the old Ship of _State safely through the treacherous reefs of turmoil, intrigue, and the assaults of political enemies. We appréciate his worth and his attitude toward the plain, common every day average citizen and his interest in their wel- fare; and the fact that he could not be rushed off his feet by the hysteria and rantings of such political black guards as Tom | Heflin, Caraway, and Roberson, who shouted “OIL” and tried to splash it on the president. When from their own hands drip the blood of human beings: lynched, mobbed and burned in Al- abama, Arkansas, and Georgia. The only trace of oil about Calvin Coolidge was when the most eventfu moment of his life came: he was up at his home on the farm in Vermont and when called upon to assume the oath to the highest office in the lland he had to go to his father’s house, who was a justice of the peace, and, in the absence of either electric lights or gas, he had to open the bible so they could see to read and affix his signature by the aid of an old kerosene lamp. And that is the nearest they can ever come to connecting President Coolidge ‘with oil. At the portals of the White House, all citizens have en- try thereto, and an opportunity to be heard, an executive will hear them, will without promise, consider their plea, and in due time will gvie to them, if worthy, a practical demonstration, granting succor and relief. Never before have we had a president whose interest in all the people has been more sincere and genuine than at the present time; and, personal to our group, a brighter day has | never shone; and the highest compliment we would pay to our- selves is by giving to this man a most hearty and undivided sup- port. 1 Ss man ra HITTING THEIR STRIDE i is Ey ‘The successful launching of the Liberty Building and Loan nr Association is indeed a grand step forward along the line of and chi real and lasting progress. a in danj Without any beating of drums and crashing of cymbals a ing 'mo small group of real business men pulled themselves together, Th put up the proper collateral required by the corporation com- able of missioner, a charter was issued, and they are now on the way started for real service in this community.

In every circle it was again and again’ discussed. ‘Social philosophers, publicists, editors,—all‘were puzzled ,and confused. Then came Senator Harding, as he was then oa. with a statement based upon cutting analy- sis, §uthentic information, and the results of his own reflection: ih ok »>“Publicity,” he said, “is going to bé the great- est Peapon of all in furthering the cause of the Col- ored Peers, of the United States.” ‘hat his prophecy was markedly genuine, the ~ following taken from the ‘Negre Year Book will adequately prove: 1, Nearly:five hundred périodicals are publishéd ~ _ ¢by Negroes. in the United States. 2. 99% of these aré edited by Negroes. 3.

Fam- ine and irrational revolution:are appallingly great- er. Temporary sustenance may be had through dope. Famine and revolution do not sustain. Such would be a contradiction in terms. But dope does demoralize character, wreck human life ,and shake the foundations of halional sobriety. Dope fastens its unwholesome grip upon those least expected to become addicted to the ig- noble habit: the bank president,.the school teacher, the public official, the physician, and so on, ad in- finitum, the least indespensable servants of the hu- man race are frequently its victims! Even Poe and Cellini and consumptive Mrs. Browning were subjett to it. . _ And throughout the world today, men, women, and children of varying social status are constantly in danger of it. Fortunately this dariger is becom- ing more and more apprehended. =” The Hearst newspapers—though usualy incap- able of anything clean and constructive—have started a nation-wide campaign to crush it; - and, among the Negroes of Los Angeles, Rev.

THE IMMIGRATION HORDE. i + “LONDON, March 16th, Trane-Atlantic steamship com- es are still transporting hundreds of emigrants out, of Bouthampton, despite the fact that the quota for the current year ig already over-run.” & Inthe minds of most thinking Negroes, this exclusive dispatch from fondon is somewhat dis- concerting. x We deeply regret that immigration policies in the United States are not rigid and_ restrictive enough to insure our own economic stability. This is not prejudice; it is looking out for our own wel- per it is knowing on what side our bread is but- tered. For immigration makes for an over-supply of gnakihes labor.

Davis, Brand Whitlock, David Houston of Tex- as, McAdoo, and Senator Reed are all vying for honors. None are jsubstantially gaining the pres- tige essential to the Democratic nomination. ; While in the Republican party, indications show that Président Coolidge will probably be the lucky man in securing ‘the Republican nomination. Republican State-Wide primaries in New Hampshire, Colorado, Kansas, Wisconsin, Oregon, Ohio, '\New Jersey, Nebraska, Montana, Michigan, Masgachusetts, and Illinois-‘have all elected dele- gates to the Republican ‘National Convention and have further instructed them to vote for Calvin Coolidge. ( (Negroes in California have defiantly failed to endorse the candidacy of Hiram’ Johnson. This might a swell be the soothsayér telling Hiram to “beware of| the Ides of March.” Other Negro po- litical cliques are going to follow suit, and Hiram should know that he cannot make gratuitously rash promises, fail to keep them, and ine expect to re- ceive support from the rank and ile of Negro politicians. He has been most insensible to their needs and demands. He has recklessly exploited their influ- ence, and has deliberately failed to give a barter or an exchange for this influence. He is the most pronounced, the least incor- rigible of. those shyster politicians who cunningly entice Negroes to vote for them, and who after- wards disappoint them in supporting measures disfavorable to their best interests! He should not receive even momentary consideration, for, in truth, he does not deserve it. Negroes are quickly—and_profitably—learn- ing just in what direction they may travel in finding men, whose policies are conducive to their prosper, ity, happinessgnd security, THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN RELIGION. Many causes may be enumerated to indicate twhy religion does not appeal as strongly.to the ris- ing generation as to the devotees of today. Scientific instruction, Darwinism and other influences, commonly avowed as being destructive to theological doctrines and conceptions, do not al- together account for the ever-widening gap be- tween youth and the Christian church. The effort is contsantly being made, as a matter of fact, to reconcile Darwinism with Bryanism. No less an authority than Professor John Harvey Robinson of Columbia clearly points out that the two may be reconciled. To successfully do this, he has set forth plans in his recent book, “The Humanizing of Knowledge.” (Doran.) In Texas, of course, a law has been recently pasded prohibiting the teaching of the doctrine of evolution and Other similar scientific instractiun; but this\is a small, isolated, and fragmentary ex- ample, and cannot, therefore, affect materially the reconciliation. Its success, though’ distant, is in no wise impossible. It is, moreover, generally _con- ceded that the\disintegration of religious belief among the-young.people of our day could not have been strategically ‘prevented even if - Darwinism had been silently emblamed four decades ago. ‘The trouble probably lies in the | ministerial practices, the parental-training, the religious cus- toms of our time. The minister, instead of ex- plaining the meaning, the sanctity, and significance of religious worship, and of emphasizing the ration- alism of certain customs and practices, almost: in- variably expects everyone to accept the doctrine of the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, and all the rest of his beliefs and principles through blind credulity as a matter of precedence. Liberal interpretation of the scriptures is dis- couraged. No effort is made to reconcile discrep- ancies, Miracles are expected to be accepted as a matter of form. ‘Active participation on the part lof the young people in numerous enterprises is damnably limited. Passive resistance, to many ‘forms of worship as manifested by a few young heretics, instead of begging vigorously tackled and subdued, is dangerously expected to develop into less militant and less heretical attitudes, : And cummulative to this is, the weak, inade- quate, and ineffective'way in which the weekly spiritual messages are prepared ahd delivered. One of the most militant figures. in local religious cir- eles fallaciously argues that “religion cannot be made appealing with grammatical sentences and Holithed essays.” A more silly ang. unfortunate calumny was never uttered. “But even granting this, it is remarkable that, if “religion cannot be made appealing with grammatical seritences and Polished essays,” it irrefutably fails-to hold some with “etymological boulings,” crude logic, and be- labored platitudes. .

Jacobe, Pastor We were pleased to realize increasing interest and attendance at the services of last Lord's day. Bible school was good, usual hour for meeting 9:46 to 11 a.m. Beginning with Athenia, the pastor has been tracing the types and shadows of New Testament characters in the Old Testament. The life of Joseph, the eleventh son of Israel, was the subject last Sunday. There are many wonderful lessons from his life that are not found in the lives of men of today. We learned that Joseph was a type of Christ, when he was sold to the Elamites for 20 pieces of silver; also a type of the early church when cast in prison for standing for the household of the King's guard; then a type of the Holy Spirit, when he reminded his brothers of their sins; last, he was a type of the power of Redemption when he gave the plan to save Egypt through the seven years of famine. Thus was the significance of his little coat of many colors. P.Y. S. C. E. at 7 p. m. we was very good. Preaching at 8:00: Text: "Cast your net on the right side". Wednesday evening prayer meeting. You are always welcome. WARO CHAPEL A.M.I.E. CHURCH 1252 EAST 25th St. Rev. B. H. K.

The large audience gave marked attention and visitors from Wichita, Kans., and other places were present. Both endeavors were well attended and their lessons were interesting. At night the pastor spoke from the text, "My heart is fixed, C God, my heart is fixed." There was a mixed audience present and one person joined the church. Next Sunday will be our Quarterly Meeting day. All are cordially invited. We are very grateful to all who helped to make our linen shower such a success. Isaac J.

WESLEY M. E. CHURCH Eighth and San Julian Sts. Rev. A. P. Shaw, Pastor Sunday was an excellent day at Wesley. The pastor's sermon in the morning was helpful and inspiring. It would have done your soul good to have heard the letters from the young people suggesting ways and means of forkingward church work. The program conducted by Miss Vassie Williamson in the evening was of a high order. The Young People's Chorus with Mrs. M. O. Bowers, as directress, and Mrs. H. W. Markham as organist, rendered excellent music. The Sunday School Orchestra directed by Mr. James B. Warron rendered two very fine selections. Wesley is proud of her Sunday School Orchestra. Miss Littlejohn was at her best as soloist. Miss Luela Green was excellent in the pantomime, "Clinging to the Cross." The address by Mr. Wilyalin Stovall manifested ability and poise for beyond his age. Miss Consuela Bright was at her best in a coaching and appropriate reading. The program as a whole was excellent. This Sunday promises great things to those who worship with us. You will miss a great treat if you fail to hear the pastor's morning sermon on "Why I am a Christian". Thi sermon will be especially beneficial to students and seekers after truth of all ages. Among the topics to be discussed at the event are Politics, "The Gods End", "The Bible's Good Times", Special music by the choir. Due to the breadth of attending the evening services at Wesley.

Independent Rubber Co. Handles New Product Te Independent Rubber Company has just received the announcement that the Michelin Tire Company has again contributed a new development to the use of balloon tires on present rime by marketing a clincher balloon tire that fits 30 by $3\frac{1}{2}$ clincher rims without a change. This tire is 31 by 4.40 inches in size. The recommended inflation for the usual Ford load is twenty pounds on front wheels and twenty-five pounds on the rear. Quantity deliveries are now being made from all Michelin branches. In connection with the introduction of the new tire, J. Hauwette Michelin issued the following statement. "The development of the new Michelin 31 by 4.40 Clincher Comfort Cord goes back to a period in French history when the development of a tire of this type became vital to the prosperity of the automobile industry abroad. "Because of the high price of gasoline in Europe, and because of the extremely high taxes on cars over a certain size, a smaller type of car has been common abroad than we know in this country. For instance, there is the five horsepower Citizen, or the six horsepower Renault, or the small Peugeot Quadrillette—all popular cars. They are very light, ad until September, 1923, were equipped with very small, clinder tires inflated to a high pressure—usually about seventy pounds. "At the Paris Automobile Show in September, 1923, this new tire was displayed by the car makers for the first time. Its development has been been kept a profound secret, and the motoring world of Europe, as well as the United States, was startled not only to find that the tires existed at all, but at the same time to learn that quantity deliveries were being made. A cartoon appeared in Motor World of September 12, 1923, which aptly illustrated the sensation caused by the tires. "These tires were clinchers—so that at the very outset, Michelin had to solve the difficulties of building a balloon tire with this type of bead.

Gowns, movies, playlets and many other unique attractions are the offerings of the Fourth Annual Fashion Show which will be held at the Philharmonic Auditorium, April 3rd. This show, the club women assert, will be not only bigger and more appealing than any of previous years, but just what you will want and crave for at the right time. Just to show one that they don't dabble into little things, they have engaged the auditorium to handle the large crowd that they expect to respond to their call. Fashion shows have swept the country in recent years and have met with much success where ever they have been staged. Outstanding was the recent Fashion Show staged under the auspices of the Chicago Y. W. C. A. All of the windy city turned out to witness the revue. Many wafted for the doors to open, awaited so as to assure themselves of a good seat; reports an Eastern paper. Easterners,Show Enthusiasm Bedlam reigned supreme when attractive Helen C. Robinson appeared, attired in the costly costume of Mrs. Mae. Robinson Jackson, which started America with its exquisiteness. It is said to have cost thousands of dollars. Mrs. Jackson is the granddaughter of the late Mme. C. J. Walker. The club women of this city are not worrying about the exclusiveness and the success of the Chicago Fashion show showing up the West, for they point out that Chicago has given but two shows to date while they have launched just two ahead of them. "Our, Fashion Show. will meet the approval and criticism of any set or crowd." Mrs. Eugene Walker, president of the club is said to have said. "We have a varied program of music, art, style and merriment. If one part doesn't please you the other will". From a survey of the program the president is right. Here are just a few of the numbers. "Sunshine" Sammy will appear not on the silver screen, but in person. If Sammy doesn't bring down the house with applause roses have never bloomed in Plecary the opening scene will be myplep dance of small children who will cut designs with their ribbons attached to the pole. Ladies will not be the only one to hold the stage of attraction, for the committee has decreed that well dressed men is what the weaker sex craves. "Strongheart" a heart rending dog picture will be exhibited during the intermission. The picture was filmed in the frozen North and carries a punch.

Brown To Give Program The San Diego Federation of Women's clubs has arranged for a program by Miss Hailie Quinn Brown, to be given on the evening of March 17. Miss Brown, a graduate of Wilberforce University, Ohio, and for many years teacher of English in that institution, resigned her professorship when she accepted the presidency of the National Federation of Colored Women's clubs. Lately she has also been chosen as delegate at large to the national Republican convention which meets in Cleveland. This versatile woman has studied abroad and given lectures and dramatic readings in Europe, Great Britain and Canada, having appeared before Queen Alexandra. Through her untiring zeal and efforts she was enabled to bring back to her alma mater the sum of $20,000, together with a gift of $16,000 from a titled English woman. Miss Brown will be remembered by her former engagement in San Diego when she spoke at the First Congregational Church and was given a reception by Miss Alice Parker that she might meet some of the prominent club women of our city. The proceeds of this recital, in which Miss Brown will be only assisted by the local Colored Choral Society, will be used for scholarships for gifted young colored people. ```markdown ``` One of the most unique musical entertainments ever given in the city of Los Angeles was witnessed at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, 37th and Paloma Streets last Monday evening. In entering the main auditorium of the church, one was completely overcome with the grandeur of its surroundings. The stage setting represented a huge picture frame, oriental in design, which extended from the ceiling to the floor, the base of which was decorated with a series of nine contestants, representing various church choirs of the city vied with each other in the characterization and rendition or their respective numbers and it verified the fact that each contestant did his and her best to render the best "living song" and make the best "living picture". Mary E. Banks was well received as a Spanish lady. She sang "La Paloma". G. E. Arnold was a typical "Old Black Joe" both in costume and in singing. Ina Marshall was the life of the evening. Her number was original and showed talent along musical and literary lines that is worth developing. Loyalty to our race was the title of her rendition. Ella Washington was heartily received in her rendition of "I'm so glad trouble don't last alway". Her costume and gestures showed much care and study. Leola Longress was a typical Scottish lassie. Her picture brought forth a burst of applause that was difficult to quell. She sang "Lassie O'Mine to the delight of the entire audience. Naomi Pharr charmed the audience C. Nelson, M. D., Frank A. Harvey Ncrman Q. Houston, Field Manager, as she always does. She not only possesses a voice of exceptional sweetness, but her appearance itself scores success. She sang, "Song of the Heart" by J. Rosamond Johnson, and the audience was very enthusiastic in its applause. Walter V. Allen was very much a Spaniard. He sang "Marchete", and his characterization and poise gave proof that he was at home on the stage. He possesses a voice of rare quality which bespeaks for him a bright future. Naomi Pharr received the Ten Dollar Prize for the best rendition. Mats. Hattie Norwood, Prof. H. Douglass Greer, and Hon. Noah D. Thompson acted as judges. Much praise is due the promoter, Mosele Te Outley. for this very extraordinary musical entertainment, and it shows that she is capable of giving satisfaction in anything that she sponsors. IN THE MUSIC WORLD By John A. Gray The hearing of good music by he student while he is young is an absolute necessity, if we wish him to develop into a fine musician. And this music much be played or sung in a correct manner with a good, pure tone quality. This purity of tone is absorbed and stored away in the subconscious mind. By hearing good tones; and later, when they wish to express themselves through the music instrument, they are able to conceive and produce a fine quality of tone. Sevcik, the great violin teacher says: "American pupils are as talented as any in the world, and they work as hard; but in general, they have one failing, they have not absorbed enough music into their subconscious mind. If one were to put a very fine plant in a dark cellar, and were to water and cultivate it very carefully; it could not grow into a fine healthy plant. So no matter how fine a musical talent we may have, how carefully the teacher may guide musical studies, yet the lack of the light of plenty of good music in the everyday life is a great handicap. Musical education should commence in the earliest years, in the home, and should be continuous from that point on." One phase of music teaching, that we have not delved into as a race, is the kindergarten idea. The training of the child mind, and of the cultivating of taste, is a factor in his development tat we, as a people, do not recognize. Were it not for the training that the public schools give, our youngsters could not make the progress so fast in their music. Every child should study music while he is very young. The teachers of the future children will be compelled to teach a kindergarten method. They must also make the hearing of good music a part of the training. Popular music is popular because it is heard often. In Italy, the finest operatic music is as familiar and popular to the everyday man or woman, as the lighter folk-songs are. One can hear the peasant sing tunes from the operas, as readily o sone hear our workmen sing a tune from a ragtime song. Inour country the popular music is written by cheap composers who are hardly able to read notes. Can one wonder that the market is glittered with so many poor compositions, few few excellent works to the above rule. Our young students often hear the worst music played in the worst possible manner. That accounts largely for their taste. It is up to us to try and change this condition, that is, if we wish it develop serious and capable musicians. By, Wendell P. Gladden, Jr. What would life be without song? Music must play an important part in our daily lives t o encourage and urge us on. There is music everywhere about us. Whether we listen or not, there are sad songs and sweet songs and the songs of birds amid the noises of the cities. We pass individuals each day who have songs on their lips or music in their hearts. But there are some songsters of the streets whose music is heard. The power of these is uplifting and long felt. Every community has its, singing boyhood. Gangsters, curious, active, unsteady, yet, songsters with gay spirits gather and sing until, a late hour of the night. These are the merry, cheerful songs; these are the peppery songs, the silly songs, and often the popular songs of the day which the quartets sing. Occasionally we find a group of young men singing. Their songs are of the jazzy strain. Yet there are times when they sing melodies full of meanig, and ennobling. Following are among the many songs, which stir the listener: "Santa Lucia," "The Rose of No-Man's Land," "Sweet AdeHine," "Steal Away," "Swing Low Sweet Chariot." Then come the humorous ones. And sometimes there is added the distinct charm to the singing when the guitar, ukelele, of banjo or companies. It is ten that youth craves adventure; it is at that time that the young ser-padere time romantic, and as life goes with life. The youthful quartete sing! Clear and sweet voices fill the night with beautiful music. Youth sing always of adventures, action, of the birds, the winds and seas, of love; songs of the Fatherland and war. Whatever may be the mood, youth gives expression in song. The quartet makes for harmony. There is feeling and swelling of the tones; and there is cadence. Sometimes there comes a stirring outburst of youth, who is care-free, yearning, and impulsive altogether, and men add women with life-long and empty dreams seek hope beyond the stars again. We must have their songs whether they come at day or night and we must strive to always find a place for their depth and tenderness in our souls.

Gamble & Co., has maintained a standard of Reliability for years unexcelled by any other Firm in the City of Los Angeles that is engaged in selling Real Estate. Its integrity stands unquestionable. Its record is as white as the snow that falls from the clouds. Its watchword is service. We strive to serve, to please and to make our clients comfortable, contented and happy. To anyone who is in doubt as to whether we have succeeded, ask anyone who has purchased property through our Firm, and wherever you meet one you will meet a booster and a friend of the Firm; that speaks for itself. We thank our 1807 Central Avenue Wherever there is organization there is strength. Perhaps our greatest weakness, as a race is our inadequate conception of the "inner workings" of our particular political parties. The Whigs and Tories of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries appeared to be impossible organizations to one another. But both parties had so much "intestinal fortitude", and moral stamina, that they have perpetuated their existence "down through the decades". Today they are nominally as separate groups, (Democratic and Republican), yet as one in their inseparable relations to the United States Constitution, "Our Citadel of freedom" and our American Government has been cemented and fortified through co-operative competition, so may minority groups progress in the presence of smaller groups that are united to support an ultimate ideal in common. The fraternities and sororities of U. S. C. are united in the Belles Labtree Club. We are striving to serve the public as a literary group. Will the Los Angeles people give us their support? clients and friends for their business and support. We have houses and lots for sale in all sections of the City at reasonable prices and terms.

Colored Business Man, where does your dollar come from? and where does your dollar go? Have you stopped to think? it is your race that maintains your business, that makes or destroys your success. Yet some of you may say, my trade is a mixed trade. That may be true, yet, if you keep a close check on the mixture, you will find that it runs about 90 percent of your own race, and it is only through this channel that we can ever hope to gain recognition among the other races. Now I do not mean to say that you should expect or receive the patronage of your people, solely because of race or color. But, you, yourself, Mr. Business Man, have a duty. Meet your competitor with quality and price, and then demand the business, and co-operation of your race, and you will make positions for your boys and girls. The "Morrison's Four Brown Wholesale Candy Company has set you an example and are bravely fighting their way over the top, by producing the goods, meeting their competitors with price and surpassing them with quality. So, Mr. Merchant, when one of their salesmen call on you, give him an order and he will make you a satisfied customer, and we will increase your candy sales. Refuse him and you are blocking the wheels of race industry. DANCING Is it an evil? Is it any harm to dance? What does the Holy Bible say about it? What does it create? Murder and lust; What is lust? See Matt. 14:6. Luke 15:25. Exodus 15:9. Galations 5:16. Deut. 12:15. Psalms 78:18. Pro. 6:25. Romans 1:27. Ephesians 2:3. I Peter 4:2. II Peter 2:10. I Tim. 2:3. II Tim. 2:21. 22. I believe dancing is an evil; the scriptures carefully distinguish between physical and moral evil. Physical or natural evil is that which in any way disturbs the perfection of natural beings, as blindness, disease, death. Moral evil is the disagreement between the actions of a moral agent and the rule of those actions, acting contrary to the revealed laws of the deity; it is called wickedness, or sin. Applied to an act contrary to a moral rule of fitness it is termed a fault. Evil produces nuhappiness, suffering, calamity, sorrow and distress. It follows a deviation from the principles of virtue impressed by conscience, or from corruption of the heirt; turn from such inclinations; overcome disposition for wrong and give your thought and life to the right.

The results of this disease shows itself by the discrimin- atory and prejudice:manner the Negro patrons of this office ar esaid to pe ‘treated. . Sometime ago Mr. Andrew Jackson, one-time a student of Berkeley Unt: versity and an ever ‘war soldier, took the examination for mail carrier. He made the highest average of the three who took it at the time, the other two applicants were white, but when the time for making appoint. ment of one or more carriers. came, ‘Mr. Jackson went up for appdintmen. and was refused, on the. ground, we understand, that those (all white) in the post office would not work with a Negro. When. colored people call. at the post office to send packages that necessitate the attention of some one in the office they are questioned and treated as if they do not know thelr ‘business nor what they want, It is ‘said that the postmagter Is a southern: er. If he (sn't, he certainly acts it.
